What Roger Clemens Should Say to the Congressional Hearing
2008-02-05 22:12:00 Independent Country has crafted a great hypothetical response for Roger Clemens to use when he appears before the congressional hearing(aka, inquisition, witch hunt, etc.) about steroid use. Mr. Chairman, I have read the Constitution and it does not grant you authority to ask the question or hold this hearing on my alleged steroid use. Therefore, I ...

Liberty Means a Faith in God
2008-02-04 16:10:00 Leave it to Douglas Wilson, a much better writer than I am, to sum up the whole theme of this blog in just a few paragraphs. Frederic Bastiat put it well — “Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and his works.” Flip this around and we see that no society can or will have ...

A True Christmas Reflection: Peace on Earth
2007-12-26 21:22:00 Of all the blog posts I read on Christmas , this one from Lew Rockwell is the one that truly moved me: On this day in 1914, in the first year of the great civilizational disaster called WWI, German and British soldiers on the Western front stopped shooting. Not only that, they celebrated together, as brothers, the ... More About: Peace , Earth , True , Reflection

Congratulations America: Bush Gets to Spend 555 Billion More of Your Tax D
2007-12-20 21:11:00 With $70 billion set aside for the war effort. And so ends the first year of the “most ethical” Democratic Congress, not racing through the finish line in triumph, but turning tail and running the opposite direction, utterly giving up on everything they promised to do if elected. And people wonder why I am so pessimistic when ... More About: America , Bush , Government , Congratulations , Billion
The 6 Million Dollar Man
2007-12-17 20:19:00 Once again breaking fund raising records, including his own, Ron Paul has raised over 6 million dollars on December 16, the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. This is one of the biggest primary season stories to come out in decades, and it’s importance will probably only be matched by the news of the eventual winner. ...

Confessions Reflections 7: Sources of Sins Reversed
2007-12-14 20:54:00 I find Augustine s rundown of these sources of sins fascinating, as he does not simply recite dangers and examples. He does not condemn them like a vengeful preacher. Instead, he highlights how people who commit these sins are looking for something, and have a certain rational behind what they do. But they will not find what ...

CBS Flushes Integrity Down the Toilet?Again
2007-12-11 22:07:00 In a never ending quest to minimize their relevance in the coming age, CBS has been running a segment called Primary Questions where: CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked the 10 leading presidential candidates 10 questions designed to go beyond politics and show what really makes them tick. Of course, the definition for the term “leading” ... More About: Elections , Government , Ron Paul , Toilet , Integrity
Government Tyranny Roundup December 6, 2007
2007-12-06 20:55:00 It’s been over a month since the last thug roundup, and there’s a simple reason for the long delay. These things just make me angry and depressed. Eventually, you come to a point where you just have to sit on the bench for a few just so you gain regain your breath and energy. Here’s the ... More About: Government , Roundup , Tyranny , December
Christians Should Be Glad that America Has Lost the War on Drugs
2007-12-04 16:24:00 Everyone needs to read this article in Rolling Stone. A true masterpiece of journalism. Also a true shame, and testament to the decrepit state of our mainstream media, that other venues have not run similar exposes. It actually begins as a very common tale of tyranny. In order to get something done, government ... More About: America , Lost , Drugs , Christians , War on Drugs
Can I be called a Homegrown Terrorist?
2007-11-29 21:26:00 According to a bill that just passed the House of Representatives, thanks to it’s vague language, I could legally be called a terrorist. Here’s the definition in the bill of something termed “violent radicalization”: The process of adapting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically-based violence to advance political, religious, or social ...

Plato: A Key Contributor to Modern Christianity
2007-11-27 17:47:00 Did you know that the main inspiration for one of modern Christianity ’s foundational assumptions is Plato ? You heard that right. It isn’t the Bible, Jesus, the early Christians, or even first century Judaism. It was the Greek philosopher Plato. And that certainly doesn’t bode well, because Plato was a complete nutball. It’s from Plato that ... More About: Culture , Modern
The Real Language of Politicians
2007-11-20 18:30:00 The language of Capitalism and business, many say, is money. And this is cause for derision because it is looked at as unsympathetic and ruthless, caring not for the needs of others, but only for profit. But guess what? Politicians are even more fluent in this language than they would have you believe. ... More About: Government , Ron Paul , Language , Real
Liberty Dollar Offices Robbed Blind by Thieves
2007-11-16 21:39:00 These thieves go by the name of FBI and Secret Service agents. I learned early yesterday from www.gordonunleashed.com that the Liberty Dollar offices were raided by the feds. They took everything, including 2 tons of gold and silver. If taking privately owned commodities from a privately owned office is not theft, then our dictionary just plain ...

Ron Paul Answers All of the Tough Questions
2007-11-14 22:27:00 The editorial board at the Nashua Telegraph in New Hampshire should be applauded for this candid, comprehensive interview with Ron Paul . They give him plenty of time to speak and articulate his very nuanced positions, not settling for the quick sound bites we’re used to hearing in modern politics. If you have been on the ...

The Golden Compass and the Christian Whine
2007-11-13 18:40:00 There is an email going around about the movie The Golden Compass . Like many typical Christian calls to action or warning, this one is steeped in fear.

Government Tyranny Roundup November 12, 2007
2007-11-12 18:35:00 This roundup, we have probably one of the most ridiculous and overt examples of tyranny. Boy’s rights weren’t violated when officer shot him - After all, the State really owns the body of the boy, so it was just disposing of it’s property? Isn’t that what is being insinuated here?

Christians in the Legions, Part 3
2007-11-08 16:03:00 (This is final part of Jacob Head’s guest post series. I appreciate him allowing the use of his material here while I am out of town at a conference.) First and foremost, a hermeneutical agreement needs to be reached. In this matter there is talk of conscience, equally valid individual exegesis, and private interpretations. I don’t believe any of us would accept this hermeneutical stance in matters of “critical” doctrines, such as baptism, repentance, and worship. I think it important and logical to apply a consistent hermeneutical stance to all matters of scripture, including matters we conveniently deem irrelevant to our ultimate salvation. Second, I would like to try to limit this topic to Christian participation in the military and all subsidiary governmental forces to prevent a general debate on pacifism; while on some occasion relevant, general self-defense deserves a whole other thread. Previously, I gave a little bit of information on my research of ... More About: Christians , Part , Part 3
Ron Paul Revolution on the Fifth of November
2007-11-06 03:03:00 Today will prove that Ron Paul is not a lower-tier candidate. His message is not “fringe”, but actually resonates with a large segment of the American people, the original attitude of freedom that used to run so thick through our blood. In 18 hours, over 30,000 individual doners have contributed over 3.2 million dollars. ... More About: Government , Revolution , November

2007-11-05 22:04:00 (This is a continuation of the guest post series by Jacob Head, Christians in the Legions.) I’ve come across some rather interesting statements from early Christians: Tatian: I do not want to rule, I do not wish to be rich, I reject military command, I have hated fornication.

2007-11-02 20:04:00 This is a guest post by Jacob Head. While rereading Gibbon?s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, I stumbled on this little gem: ?On [a legionair?s] first entrance into the service, an oath was administered to him, with every circumstance of solemnity.

Police try to shut down a dangerous pumpkin trafficking booth. When there are no true criminals to catch, the government will always create some out of thin air so it ...

2007-10-30 18:35:00 If you thought the supposed Iran crisis sprung up suddenly because our leaders now see them as a threat to the American people, think again.

Do You Have What it Takes to be a Business Missionary?
2007-10-25 20:03:00 Traditional avenues of missionary work are continually being closed off to those who wish to preach the gospel.
